Ditto. I started tinkering with computers and other electronics when I was maybe 10 years old and I feel that it has given me an immunity to getting sucked in hard to the latest crazes out there. I also try to only go on Facebook and other internet dens maybe once per week just to check for messages and see if anything interesting is going on. I can't stand the idea of being tied to the internet by the hip. I'd rather spend my "down" time doing things of a more analog nature to balance out the 60 hours per week that I'm either at work or working on personal tech stuff. That said, HN is a little harder to stay away from.... :o)
